[abcusers] Adding PostScript fonts?
Hello all, I use abcm2ps but my question is applicable to all ABC to PostScript converters. We all know that PostScript has those nice 35 fonts, which ought to be enough for everybody. But what if I wanted to use some other weird font? So, I'd like to know: 1) is it possible to add a new font to GhostScript, and how? 2) how can *abc*2ps use this new font, if at all possible?

Under Windows, the file fonts.htm in the GhostScript doc directory explains how to add new fonts. I haven't tried this myself. cheers, Ewan Macpherson To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

As I've already said, it was us Saddamites who were campaigning against Saddam when he was Britain and America's darling.

So it makes one socket connection to pumps out like 80 messages to a particular domain. I contacted them about a year ago and told them what was up. They never responded, but I noticed that messages to aol started being accepted again. Toby Sorry, folks - it happened again. Not sure how but it's some peculiarity with the AOL address book, from which abcusers will now be removed. By the way, my son is a Human Shield too.

The silver lining in such things can be the body of good music that is sometimes the only way to deal with it. Maybe someone has the abcs ...

It's the tune for a song by the German minnesinger Walther von der Vogelweide, written about 1200; the words begin in a tone of mystical exaltation, a pilgrim talking about his joy in setting foot in the land the Saviour walked on. That's the bit that early music groups frequently perform. It ends with a call to all-out slaughter of the Saracens. It was a rallying cry for what became the Fourth Crusade. That crusade was bankrolled by the Venetians. Once the Crusaders got to Venice (having killed an indeterminate number of Jews along the way) it was payback time. The Venetians got them first to conquer a Christian city in Hungary they'd had their eyes on, and then went for the big one: the capture of Constantinople and the ransacking of its wealth for the Venetian treasury (the Lions of St Mark, still in Venice, were a small part of the booty), with a regime change installing a Venetian client as ruler of the Byzantine empire. The pillage was so thorough that Byzantium never recovered; 250 years later the Turks walked into a ghost town. The Crusaders never got to Palestine, but the Venetians got what they wanted. (There are probably better ways to notate that: I'm reconstructing what I've heard various early music groups do with it). - Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack * food intolerance data recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM Embro, Embro.
